You're right. (Oops, my bad!)

Ben.

(P.S. I think the answer to the problem posed by the original poster is in
Steve's suggestion to use

FEATURE(`delay_checks')

in the mc file. That will delay checking of DNS blacklists, access, etc.,
until a successful AUTH occurs. If authentication is successful, then the
sender can send from a DNS blacklisted IP address because checking is
skipped ...)
